Pages '09 won't open on MacBook running 10.5.8

Was running Pages 09 on 10.5.8 MacBook for quite some time. It suddenly stopped working. It won't start. It doesn't start and crash, it just does not start at all. Nothing happens.
I resolved and disabled all fonts in Font Book, trashed the plist files in the user library preferances already. No change.
iWeb has no problems. Numbers has no problems. Keynote starts and then crashes upon opening with the following problem report:

Pages documents won't open on MacBook

I've got a number of Pages documents on iCloud, and all of a sudden, none of them can be opened from Pages (5.2.2) on my MacBook Pro. They all appear, but they either say "zero bytes" or there is just a gray line. If I select any document, the "Open" button remains gray. I CAN open all docs on my iPad, and I can also open them using the iCloud web interface. Meanwhlie, Calendar is syncing new events to all devices without problem, in all directions, so it can't be a problem with the account.
Any ideas? Very frustrating, makes me want to forget about iCloud.

I have a similar situation. I write a Pages document on my Macbook Air and save to iCloud, I can see the document on my iMac but it gives the grey bar which eventually becomes "zero bytes", I cannot open it. However, I can see, access and modify this document on my iPhone, my iPad and iCloud via Safari browser and they all sync beautifully together through iCloud. The iMac stays at "zero bytes" and just doesn't want to join in at all.
I have reinstalled Pages on both machines, I have removed Pages 09 as I thought that it might be the cause of the conflict/problem.
I am running the most recent versions of IOS & Mavericks on all machines/devices.
Any ideas what might be the problem? I've wasted way too much time on this already, I do so want iCloud to work .. . . but I am be pushed back to Dropbox. Sigh.

Pages file won't open

One of my pages files won't open. It has been fine, but all of a sudden a message comes up saying the file cannot be opened. There is no information as to whether it has been corrupted or not. When I try to open it in the mac-Microsoft office program it says the file is too large.
Either it is just too large at 669MB and I need to reduce the size? or perhaps it is corrupted. I can open a preview version from its folder, by going to file and 'Quick Look "file name." But I can't copy any of it from there to paste into a new file...
Could someone tell me how to reduce the file size? Or increase the memory of the Pages application? Or some other way of opening it.
And no, I haven't backed it up like a fool.
Thanks guys

Yvan,
Thanks for the tip on Activity Monitor, I did not know about that! I have a similar problem, and I hope you can help me. I have a MacBook with 2GB mem and early Intel Chip (see SN provided).
I am writing a book with MANY pictures. They are all .JPGs and are fairly big. I have to keep the book in a single file if I want the Table of Contents (TOC) to work (I think... TOC is quirky). The file is 165.4 MB on disk and loads in Activity Monitor as 173.5 MB. With Preview Open and Safari Open, the system memory report says Free 161MB, Wired 296 MB, Active 1.06GB, Inactive 497.4 MB, Used 1.84 GB, Swap used, 41.8 MB. Pages loads the book slowly and functions okay with major hesitations from time to time; but it does take a VERY long time to save and will freeze with a wheel of death from time to time.
The obvious answer is to divide the book; but that would defeat the TOC advantage I'm enjoying.
Advice?

I have downloaded the latest pages update on my iPad, but my iMac still has Pages version 4.3, and I cannot find out how to update it on my desktop. When I try to send something from my iPad pages via email to be opened on my desktop in Pages, it won't open in Pages. I get a message that it can't be opened because the version is too old. I sent the document as a PDF and it worked. But I want to be able to use Pages back and forth. HOw do I update the Pages version on my desktop iMac?

The file format used by the iOS versions of the iWork apps can only be read by the new iWork apps on your Mac - i.e. Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Those versions for the Mac require Mavericks, OS X 10.9. The "too old" error on a Mac comes if you are trying to open an iWork '08 or earlier file in the newest apps. If you do have the newest apps you can open the files from your iPad.
If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Mavericks & the newest iWork apps your best option would be to export/share the files from the iPad to a type an older version of iWork can read such as Word, text, Excel, etc.
Or contact AppleCare. They made this mess, let them fix it.

Never mind. Thank you anyway!
I downloaded a newer version from Amazon and that seems to have made everything right again.

Pages files won't open.

Hello. I am running Pages 09 (4.3) on my MacBook Air OS X 10.8.5 and cannot open any files. They are saved and I can open them in Preview but when I try to open in Pages they don't appear (even if Pages lists them in my files). Thanks in advance for help.

Where have you saved your files?
How many have you tried opening?
Have you tried creating new clean simple files and saving them somewhere you can easily find to check if they open?

ProRes422 HQ File (142gigs) won't open on PC running win7 & Premiere CS5

-My associate has Adobe Premiere (CS5) running on her PC under Windows 7 and cannot open the 142gig prores 422(HQ) QT file on my Gdrive and I believe it's because she's running Windows 7.
-At ScreamerVision in NY where I had the file put on a 1tb GDrive from my XDcam Master, we managed to open it on a small Dell machine running XP and it ran the 142 gig movie flawlessly.
-Do anyone have any ideas why it won't open on her PC or if there's a plug-in from Apple or Adobe that she could put on her PC that would make it possible for her to open the Prores 422 HQ file on her PC with Premiere? Once she does that she can transcode it to any file format she needs to use.
- She doesn't appear to have any PC machines running XP except for an old one that doesn't have USB 2.0, eSata or Firewire (all the outputs of my GDrive).
Anyone run across this before? Any suggestions or answers? Thanx in advance.

A. PROBLEM: Each time I try to use this reputable program (version 5.2 (7534.52.7), I encountered the following problem:
Program (1) loads instantly, (2) presents the browser space, (3) agrees to open new tabs, (4) but when I try to direct it to ANY URL at all, the hour-glass appears, but the wait is fruitness. I cannot reach any site at all.
I've tried to access the program, both as "administrator" and regular "user." No joy.
All I ever get showing is the interesting interface (and an hour-glass on an URL-call) and nothing else.
Even though it's about a different application, I'd try the following document with that:
iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(Safari uses the same webkit engine to render web pages as iTunes uses to render the Store pages. So an issue that can cause the iTunes Store to blank can also cause a Safari for Windows application on the same PC to produce blank pages.)

Pages '09 won't open Word documents since installing Lion

Since installing Lion I can no longer open Word documents. I get the following window
My intel iMac is just a year old and all software is current, both Lion and Pages. If I transfer the word documents to my 4 year old Macbook running the same Pages and Snow Leopard the files open as they should. Can anyone suggest a solution. I would be very grateful. Thanks.

That's what I have done, but then I am a long term Apple user and wised up years ago.
Rodney Boyce wrote:
"You can't open the application Microsoft Word because Power PC applications are no longer supported."
That does sound like you are simply double clicking on the exported .doc file which will open Word.
Try dragging it onto Pages or right mouse clicking > Open with…
I installed Lion on an external Hard Drive so I could still get my work done in Snow Leopard.

Keynote from Powerbook G4 won't open on Macbook Air

Apple wants fifty bucks to answer this question so I thought someone else may be willing to help. I have a Keynote I use my Powerbook (10.4)for, but I use a Macbook Air(10.6.6) for everything else. I'm going on a trip and don't want to lug both. I bought the right cable for the projector hook up but when I moved the doc over it won't open on the intel processor machine. What do I need?
Thanks in advance,

Do you have the same version of Keynote on both? I have never done this with Keynote, but I just did with Pages this morning. Created a document on my old G4 at home and opened it this morning on my Intel iMac at work and had no problem.
There are a few things you would want to make sure of. First like I said above, you will need the same version of Keynote on both, or at least a newer version on the MacBook Air then is on the Powerbook. Second, make sure that all the fonts are on both computers. And finally, make sure that on the Powerbook, you have check the Preference button to include Pictures and Movies in the file.

Safari won't open, I'm running 10.6.8, with safari 5.1.7

Hi,
Safari was working fine yesterday, but today I switched on my macbook pro (10.6.8) and now safari won't open. It says "Safari cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Safari works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X".
I went to 'software updates' and everything is up to date.
I can't copy and paste the error message here because I can't get onto the internet using the macbook. I'm on another computer.
I'm not sure what operating system I have. I don't know how I find that out either!

You want the 8.3 dng converter for mac os x 10.6.8

Pages 5 won't open

The new versions of Pages and Keynote won't open. I get a "Pages quit unexpectedly" error for both of them. However, I can't revert to the previous versions of Pages as I deleted them! I didn't understand that they were deliberately saved and I thought the two being installed at once may be causing the issue.
How do I redownload the previous version of Pages - I would like to keep these as it now seems there are a lot of missing features in the newer apps too!

I think I have solved this...
Go to Fontbook
Click File > Restore System Fonts...
It will move non-standard fonts to a separate folder, but after doing this Pages, Keynote and Numbers all WORK!!
You can go back and Add back the fonts it removes and they still seem to work.
Good luck!

Pdf files won't open in Safari running on a Mac

I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard in preparation for Lion and ever since the upgrade, pdf files won't open in Safari. I have Reader 9.4.5. It opens documents that are on my machine, it just won't open in Safari, nor do the documents download.

MIght be helpful to disable Adobe plugin by going to Adobe Reader's Preferences -> Internet and unchecking "Display PDF in browser using".
Then dump the atrocious bloated Reader.
See this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3252667?start=0&tstart=0 for further solutions.

Keynote made on my ipad3 won't open on Macbook pro

I created keynotes presentation on my iPad 3, sent via email (i selected keynote format) to my self so I can open and revise it on my MacBook Pro, once I try to open it says unable to pen because it is not a valid format or something. I have all apple stuff..it should be the same format!,,!,,,,!
Any ideas?
Another issue: I plug a USB stick on my iPad 3, it won't open it, it says it requires too much power?
Thanks

Where ar eyou looking on your iPad to see your music. Many people mistakenly look in iTunes app when they should be looking in Music app.
If you are doing it correctly, you can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Resync and try again to see if the problem persists.

Had to erase hard drive, now pages docs won't open

I had an issue with my Mac and had to erase my hard drive, and start from scratch. I sent my essential pages documents via e-mail, and re-downloaded them, then re-downloaded pages, but now the documents won't open, with no explanation given.

JPS3, if by any reason there was a problen while uploading the file, I think there is nothing that can be done. Now, if the problem was downloading, you can try redownloading the file again and give it a try.
Any chances you have a copy on iCloud? (sometimes I hit save superfast without knowing it was save at iCloud).
Is this file created in the same version of the Pages you downloaded? or is it older?
I know that its no good for this case, but next time I recommend you use sites like Box, Dropbox or iCloud.
Hope you can recover your files.

Mail application won't open on MacBook Pro

My Apple mail won't open. Console says it's crashing due to a segmentation fault. This happened after installing a system update. Any Ideas?

Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
====================
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.
=====================
If Mail is working correctly, eject the DVD.
If Mail is not working, boot up from the system DVD again but this time run Apple Hardware Test and report back any errors if any.
